PSA: Don't Get Taken By Crypto Scams (Fake Tips, NFT Gallery Offers, etc)

Hello beautiful humans!

Kenny Palurintano here, with a special PSA.

Over the last couple of weeks, multiple artists I know have been approached with crypto scams.

One was told the person had a Bitcoin tip for him, but he had to go to a certain site to get it, and then the site wanted $300 in order to unlock the $3000

Two others were told that their art was wanted for a big digital gallery showing.. they just had to pay to mint the NFTs on some random site(s) - also trying to take $300.

If someone reaches out about anything like this, 99% it's a scam. Here's a couple key reminders & things to check:

1. To send you crypto, nobody ever needs anything but your public receiving address.
2. DON'T CLICK LINKS FROM RANDOS!!! Put the url into presearch, and try it with "is a scam?" and "_ reviews"
3. When in doubt, ask someone you know & trust, who knows about crypto.
4. If you have to ask, it's probably a scam.
